    Medtech Pharmaceuticals Executive Summary

    Medtech Pharmaceuticals Executive Summary

    The business manager for MedTech Pharmaceuticals should closely analyze the current incentives the company provides for the employees. It seems the company thinks the 100% sales commission should be enough of an incentive for the employees to generate more sales (Johnston & Marshall, 2010). This way of thinking from the business manager is the reason sales are not where they should be with this newly founded company. The sales representatives that go out on a daily basis use more time, gas, and food to secure a sale verses the actual bring home pay they are receiving. These added expenses should be taken into consideration and the sales representatives should be allotted more reimbursements. The sales representatives most likely spend after…

    Concept Proposal Report

    With respect to the modernized lifestyle, more and more city residents are suffering from sub-health. To avoid the sequence of sub-health, conscious consumers demand more natural and healthier products. Innocent is a remarkable brand of healthy food. It is marked by the pure fruits ingredients and has become the market leader of fruit smoothies. Innocent targets young professionals and Innocent smoothies are popular as healthy drinks at lunch. However, from the target’s consideration, healthy drinks can’t fulfil their psychological needs namely stress release and inspiration. Based on recent research, a quarter of workers feel stressed a lot of time. Those in the £15,500-24,999 income bracket are particularly worried (Mintel, 2009). It means that there is a large, potential demand of stress release product but a scarcity of supply.…

    Brand-Tracker-of-Sunsilk-to-Calculate-the-Brand-Image

    Findings: 1. From Brand asset valuator model The survey revealed that shampoo is a product in which consumers care about their choice between different brands. For the BAV analysis, Sunsilk’s competitor brands are Clinic Plus, Garnier, Pantene and Fiama Di Wills. On the four primary dimensions of the BAV model, the results for Sunsilk are: Knowledge: Sunsilk comes second in knowledge with an 80 percentile. Clinic plus enjoyed the top position because of its mass appeal and the association of Clinic (Clinic All Clear with anti dandruff.).Sunsilk is high on knowledge because of various reasons. It is an old brand; it is a product of Unilever. Sunsilk has always taken many initiatives to reach customers like the Sunsilk Gang of Girls, promotional campaigns like ‘life can’t wait’. Customers were offered free hair care and styling consultations by Sunsilk hair experts Jawed Habib and Samantha Kochhar. Thus, Sunsilk is high on knowledge. Presently, Sunsilk is trying to move up the value chain by being a mid premium brand and not a mass market brand. But our survey reveals that respondents still view Sunsilk as a mass market brand. Esteem: Sunsilk is not very high on esteem, enjoys third position with a 60 percentile. The reason probably could be it is seen more as a mass product and lesser as a premium product. Shampoos like…

    milleanium pharma

    1) Millenniums Pharmaceuticals strategy basically focused on revolutionizing drug development through the use of new technology during growth phase and making organizational changes during its maturing phase of by making strategic improvements in the organizational structure, making alliances, outsourcing etc by having vertical integration and moving from upstream to downstream model. In phase 1, technology helped the firm leapfrog most other biotechnology firms in the early stage of drug target identification. But this could not prolong as technology and tools were diffused and competitors learned from Millenniums model. This prompted Millennium to shift its focus form early stage discovery alliances (upstream) to drug development and commercialization. Levin expanded strategy to include “personalized medicine,” which he envisioned would leverage Millennium’s technology platform to customize medicines to the genetic profiles of each patient and improve the effectiveness of drug treatment while limiting side effects. Levin began to realize how challenging it was to build expertise in a broad variety of therapeutic areas while expanding the value chain downstream towards commercialization. In phase III Levin realized that it would be more productive to focus on the particular field the company had competitive advantage in rather than concentrating on the broader arena which followed shift in its business model from R&D services organization to fully integrated on its own pipeline and narrowing their efforts to cardiovascular, inflammation and oncology. Although the strategies adopted aim towards achieving vertical integration and continuous improvements, their strategy does not align parallel with goal; also mission and vision seem to change more frequently than it should be.2) Millennium has pursued the strategy of vertical integration by moving from upstream to downstream commercialization, forming alliances, restructuring their model by narrowing their…

    The Global Pharmaceutical Industry

    According to (Johnson et al, 2008:56) the pharmaceutical industry can be traced to the late nineteenth century. It develops, produces drugs for use as medications. The pharmaceutical companies are allowed to deal in generic and or brand medications and medical devices. According to the Wikipedia the industry is are subject to a variety of laws and regulations regarding the patenting, testing and ensuring safety and efficacy and marketing of drugs. This industry has made huge contribution to human well-being. The industry has seen significant changes in the recent years with the introduction of many regulations to regulate the industry in part to protect the users and in part to control the rising cost which the industry was synonymous for which resulted in the industry lacking the public and the political support to fight off the many regulation that were coming its way (Johnson et al, 2008:56). Wikipedia also stated that the pharmaceutical industry is very risky because to develop a drug it requires huge investments and out of the thousands discovered compounds, only one might become an approved drug for sale with the failure rate very high and very difficult to get return on investment.…
